On or about June 6, 2020, located in the Batch Plant's Mixer Room, the employer did not inform exposed employees by posting danger signs or any other equally effective means of the existence and location of and the danger posed by a concrete mixer, a permit-required confined space, thereby exposing employees to engulfment, caught-in and struck-by hazards.
